Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
All the girls in the bathroom talking
Who their gonna take to the Sadie Hawkins
My ears are hurting but I kept on walking
A smile on my face and air guitar rocking
The Sadie Hawkins dance
In my khaki pants
There's nothing better
Oh oh oh
The girls ask the guys
Its always a surprise
There's nothing better baby
Do you like my sweater
Sitting in the back of my next class nappin'
Gotta give a speech
Then bowed to the clappin'
Then told a funny joke
And the whole class laughing
Think I got a tan from the light in which I was baskin'
The Sadie Hawkins dance
In my khaki pants
There's nothing better
Oh oh oh
The girls ask the guys
Its always a surprise
There's nothing better baby
Do you like my sweater
Scan the cafeteria for some good seating
I found a good spot by the cheerleaders eating
The quarter back asked me if I'd like a beating
I said that's one thing I won't be needing
Since I'm rather smart and cunning
I took off down the next hall running
Only to be stopped by a girl so stunning
Only to be stopped by a girl so stunning
She said "your smooth and good with talking, will
You go with me to the Sadie Hawkins"
The Sadie Hawkins dance
In my khaki pants
There's nothing better
Oh oh oh
The girls ask the guys
Its always a surprise
There's nothing better baby
Do you like my sweater
Do you like my sweater
Who their gonna take to the Sadie Hawkins
My ears are hurting but I kept on walking
A smile on my face and air guitar rocking
The Sadie Hawkins dance
In my khaki pants
There's nothing better
Oh oh oh
The girls ask the guys
Its always a surprise
There's nothing better baby
Do you like my sweater
Sitting in the back of my next class nappin'
Gotta give a speech
Then bowed to the clappin'
Then told a funny joke
And the whole class laughing
Think I got a tan from the light in which I was baskin'
The Sadie Hawkins dance
In my khaki pants
There's nothing better
Oh oh oh
The girls ask the guys
Its always a surprise
There's nothing better baby
Do you like my sweater
Scan the cafeteria for some good seating
I found a good spot by the cheerleaders eating
The quarter back asked me if I'd like a beating
I said that's one thing I won't be needing
Since I'm rather smart and cunning
I took off down the next hall running
Only to be stopped by a girl so stunning
Only to be stopped by a girl so stunning
She said "your smooth and good with talking, will
You go with me to the Sadie Hawkins"
The Sadie Hawkins dance
In my khaki pants
There's nothing better
Oh oh oh
The girls ask the guys
Its always a surprise
There's nothing better baby
Do you like my sweater
Do you like my sweater

He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.
